How about taking Chlorella?

[luckiestdestiny]

I just wanted to report in for my mom. Those who started earlier, or whom have read the whole thread know that I started my mom on this stuff and she was complaining about hair growth. complaining! Ha! (Bet she won't cut it off!) Anyways it was confirmed as she went in for a wash and set and her hairstylist kept remarking on how much new growth she had and that it was enough for twice the time, and what was my mother doing differently!

Hello ladies so I've been taking C and S for 3 weeks now. I do have more NRG and my face is clearing up, my nails are growing super fast! I believe my hair is growing too! In the beginning my BM (TMI sorry erplexed) were green, now they are not. Is this normal? Sorry for the TMI!

Welcome sunshinne368

Yes you want green bm. If they are not, you might want to up your chlorella. Now here's the thing...if you aren't ready just do it slowly until you get to the amount that makes it green. Maybe the Spirulina gave you a false green? Who knows. Either way the goal is to take enough Chlorella that your bm is green at the very least but to increase the chlorella in your own time to get to that amount.

Congrats on your skin clearing, hair and nails growing!

We will all get to our goals with this stuff. I believe it is a perfect food, no wonder they call it a super food with all it's benefits.

I've been taking Chlorella for a few days and I haven't had any headaches or the detox symptoms. Does it take a few days or do you feel the effects almost immediately? (I'm not looking forward to the symptoms, just asking). I started out with 3 grams a day. I noticed that I have more energy and I'm not a better mood (I don't know if the B complex I take has anything to do with it).

Forgot to add chlorella has all the B vitamins in it by itself even without you taking a B complex so I don't believe that has anything to do with it. I think that each person's system is entirely different. Muse and I both posted lists of all the vitamins in Chlorella. One could truly throw out their vitamins and take chlorella fully, upping their dose of chlorella to get all of their daily requirements including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.

Thanks girl, but if you would have toiled through all of the pages you would know that many of us already drink the green machine by naked and some drink the bolthouse version!! But thanks for the tip lol... (It is too many pages to read!!!)!!!! A lot of us drink it mixed with the powder.....Good luck on your health journey!!! BTW your daughter is a cutie...


I am still taking between 6-9 grams.. I just scoop out a heaping teaspoon.. Still waiting on the "I forgot to eat today" phase... I wish!!!! Oh yeah the powder is still making me gag... I cannot get used to the smell...geesh...

Thanks for letting me know. I figured you guys were on it. I just didn't get to those pages. My coworker moonlights at Trader Joes so he said he's going to bring me their brand. He says you get more and it costs less.

I was thinking that maybe I would need to add more to it. Thanks for letting me know.

And, thanks about my baby.

Hey yall,

So I mixed the chlorella in my green foods drink and its not so bad. It does still have an after taste of fish but its 90% better than what it was before. So I guess that mean I am on this bandwagon! Oh I also have the tablets (one in my desk at work, some in my purse and the rest at home) I dont want to be without this anywhere~

 

[LiqueXX]

Okay so I just ordered the powder. As I take the source natural pills, I have had to take a hand ful. So even though they're really tiny I thought it's a pain, and I don't want to spend that much money. So I just ordered the powder yesterday from Vitacost.com for $28 dollars. I don't know. I have a green drink with chlorella in it and it's okay when you add juice. I was planning on doing a trick I read somewhere on this forum where you take apple sauce, put some powder in the middle, add more apple sauce, and then swallow. So it covers the taste. I thought this was way better than taking a whole glass of juice, and I'd just follow it with water to dissolve it. I know that it can be taken with food, so that should be a good thing. I'll let you know how it goes. I asked for my order to be sped up to 2 day service for only 3 dollars more, so I should get it early next week as they usually ship that day or the next. I'll keep you informed.

That is what we do in nursing homes to get patients to take their crushed meds.

I was wondering...is it better to take the powder or the tablets? I was looking online and see that you can take 2 teaspoons of powder to get 6g vs. 6-10 tablets (all depending on the mg) to get 6g. Basically, is the powder so bad that people are willing to choke down 6-10 pills?

I ordered pills from Puritan's Pride but they are not broken cell, so I am going to order online or go to Whole Foods and wonder if I should get pills or powder. Right now I am taking 4 pills throughout the day for 4g of chlorella.

 

[Essensual]

Is any one doing both chlorella and the drink your wayto waste length shake?

Yes, ma'am!

Shake since December and Chlorella approx 1 month. Loving both!

 

[Essensual]

Next thing I want to try... Naked Juice Green Machine if I can get my hands on it

Try a grocery store near the produce section or a 7-Eleven. They have them here in FL. HTH.

I was looking at the poll but the numbers change daily. Of all the different types of powders roughly 40 percent or more percent of the group are taking the powder. And I think some of them may also have the pills for on the go, so they may have voted for pills too. I think with almost half the group doing so, it can't be that bad. I've only noticed one person having trouble taking it so much she could hardly bear it and had to try different things until she found a solution (southern stunner). There isn't a fish taste to me. I think it's the smell and if, like others say, you can shut that out of your mind and take it, it really doesn't taste horrible at all. It does need to be masked for those that aren't used to it. I take mine in juice (green) or applesauce. But I've run out and just chugged it with water. that's how not a big deal it is to me. I think the reason lots opted for powder is it's so cheap. I still have half a container and I've been taking 10-12 gms daily (sometimes my spoonfuls are larger than other times). granted I started lower and worked myself up, but I assume that for the 16oz source naturals powder (when it's time to reorder) to even have a little over a month at that amount is phenominal and it's only $28. Those taking 3 grams have five months worth, those taking 6 have 2 and a half. The pills, I'd have to pay way more because there's only a certain amount per package. If it's economical for you to order the pills without problems financially go for it! I just prefer to take my three scoops add some juice and shake my bottle, drink and move on with my life. Whatever makes it easier for you.

So I'm Hulking it fo real tonight (will post pics tomorrow). I mixed 1g of CHL with my proactiv face mask and put it all over my face and neck... I am green with envy! and then I mixed about 6 g with a whole bottle of Jergen's firming lotion and put that all over my body. This will hopefully last a month. I"m sleeping on white sheets, so I've got on full length PJ's, but it's worth it. I will take some before pics of my skin so that I can do some comparison shots in like 2 weeks.... Wish me luck!

 

[yodie]

Good luck BR. Let us know how it turns out. I'm considering adding some powder to my condish this weekend, but for some reason I think internal methods are always better.

Forgot to take aloe last night and I've been backed up all day. My tummy is bloated and sore.

Oh, I picked up the Bolthouse Farms green drink. Hint... Ladies get 2 of the 33.8 oz instead of 1 64 oz. Its more servings and less $. I used to love this drink! CHL tasted much better this way. Its a must if I continue w/the powder.

I've seen the bolthouse around...I found one online for $4.65 for 33.8 oz is that a good price? Maybe I should order online unless it's comparative to stores. What do you think? I found that a few places in Ny carry it. Should I purchase online or at the store (Is it cheaper online?)?

I had the neckche thing too! Just came up out of no where, now I'm going through a stressful time that would normally cause the neckache and my neck is fine :scratchch

I have pimples too but they are not as bad as my regular ones and they seem to heal really fast and they are not leaving dark spots.

I think I'm going to make a facial mask with the "C" this weekend!

 

[nc cutie]

I had a headache so bad yesterday, I had to leave work. But today I feel better. I am only taking 1 to 3 grams. I found a neat drink in the vitamin shop called spriutein(S). I have been taking this for the past two days instead of breakfast because I am less hungry. I also take my chlorella pills with it.

The facial mask sounds great

I very rarely get pimples so i'm definitely detoxing!!!

I had to force my breakfast today as I did not feel hungry!!

I wonder what the neck ache is about as I have never had pains in my neck before?

 

[Jaxhair]

UK Ladies email [email protected] for a free sample of chlorella

Thanks for sharing Blaque, off to blag me a free sample... **giggles**...

 

[Jaxhair]

Aaahh... pimples! Now the penny drops! I have a pimple coming out on my forehead - noticed it yesterday. I very rarely get pimples. Not too worried but I'd rather it didn't come out on my forehead. Ah well... still popping the pills - I've decided it's a treat better than going to bars etc which I don't do much of anyway, so will get a nother jar when this one is done.

Lovely green non-pungent poops here too - both me and hubby


Hope you're all doing well ladies!

I paid $10 for mine and it is 64 oz at a local heath food store. So if you ordered it online looks like you'd save some change and get a couple extra oz but then there's shipping. I would check the local places first.

That's still cheaper than the wholefood version of the green drink. 64 oz! That's wonderful.

Is anyone using Chorella taking birth control too? Does it mess with your pills? And was your hair shedding a lot or badly using the birth control? Does the chorella help it??

I am on birth control but not to prevent conception. My periods come every 19 days if I dont take it, they are extremely painful and make me vomit, so this gives me every 28, easy periods. I stopped taking it because I've been on it since I was 18 and it bothers me because I'm not married and haven't tried to have kids yet. I dont know what the long term effects are. My friend suggested I see if Chl has an effect on it, so I took myself off for a month. I had the easiest lightest period, but it did come a little early... So although it's not really changed teh fact that my cycle comes every 19 days, ti did make it much lighter and easier... I have no hair shedding or anythign like that.

Is this liquid being shipped and chilled? Or is it a powder? Also, to add, I would, of course, consider the shipping charges as part of the price. I dont know if anybody is a member of Costco, but I got two 32 oz bottles there for like 5.89. I dont know if that's a deal, but considreing how I use it, one 16 ounce bottle lasts me a little over a week.. I only pour about 3 to 4 ounces in a cup to mix my chlorella with it, rather than trying to have a whole drink portion. And then I add some apple juice to it to make it a little looser. This works great, because I still get the same benefits and same great taste of the green machine, this is the kind by Odwalla, and I can extend my uses and get more servings out of it.

True that. I'm like you, internal is alwasy better and proves to be. So if anything, start with the inside first. I think applying things topically does work, but only optimally when you've taken care of the internal first. I wilrl be posting pics shortly of my mask...

Also, Yodie, where did you get two 33.8 oz powders from? How much and how much shipping costs?

 

[yodie]

LDestiny,
A 33.8 oz costs $4.29 at my grocery store. Try your local store first.

Well darn, I guess I am getting a great deal @ Costco! Wow! I dont know how they ship perishables online. I would be worried like what if they just left it at my doorstep, or what if I needed to sign for it but wasn't home, is it going to be on the guy's truck until he gets back to the depot, and when he gets there, will it be refrigerated? The bottle says it's highly perishable, which is quite dangerious if not stored properly. A few years ago a bunch of people got botulism from Bolthouse Farms's Carrot Juice because a store had not stored it properly or something like that, and it developed the bacteria and made people really sick and hospitalized them...

 

[yodie]

BR, I broughtg each Bolthouse Farms bottle for $4.29 at my local grocer. I plan to stick will pills after this. The pills will probably go faster and cost a little more, but factoring in this type of green juice cost extra as well.

 

[mariofmagdal]

I bought my 64oz Bolthouse Green Smoothie for only 6.99, and the 33oz is 3.89. This was at Farmfresh in Smithfield VA.
